avocado fries

Rewinding a bit to go back and hit some recipes from last week I’m going back to Cinco de Mayo. A couple of the recipes I made didn’t quite hit the mark, but they were hits with 50% of the family and good enough to try again. What do you think of these Cinco de Mayo food recipes?

The first recipe is one that a friend posted on social media. It just screamed ‘try me, I’m delicious’! The Hubs was not a fan, and Daughter Number Three was only so-so on the Avocado Fries. Daughter Number Four liked them a bit more than they did, and I thought they were awesome! For the Cinco de Mayo meal I served them as a side or topping for our taco burritos, but I think they would also be great as an appetizer with a dip.

The next recipe is one that I have wanted to try for a long time and just hadn’t taken time to make. I am so thrilled that I did it. Cooking dried beans has been a part of my life forever, but had never cooked them in a slow cooker. I cooked them the day before I mashed and finished them up. They seemed a tad bit dry and a little bland. The Hubs said that they weren’t at all dry the day before, because he had eaten plenty.

That wraps up the fun new recipes I tried for Cinco de Mayo. I’ll definitely try them again.
